Top Foods for Healthy Hair

You shampoo, you condition, you use shine serum, and yet your...

…hair still doesn’t look as young and healthy as you would like it to. If this is the case for you, try eating more of these foods for healthy hair. Below I describe the nutrients that I try to include in my daily diet to keep my locks looking luscious.

It should also be noted that although there are many supplements on the market for healthy hair, it is a better idea to get these nutrients from food. Although the nutrients above are healthy for the hair, if you are taking a supplement, which may contain a mega-dose, you may get too much of the nutrient, which can actually have the reverse effect and lead to hair loss.

Also, going on a crash diet or a very low-calorie diet can be detrimental to your hair. Many hair problems, such as losing hair, brittle hair, or dull hair are caused by nutrient deficiencies, which are common in people who are on a very low-calorie diet that may not ensure intake of all necessary nutrients. To lose weight without becoming deficient in key nutrients, I recommended consulting with a registered dietitian.
